Many businesses need spare parts, but aren't able to find the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to obtain them, or the part may even be obsolete. Reverse engineering services can help companies that are looking for a solution to this problem.

SHUN LI, SINGAPORE, July 21, 2014, Businesses invest huge amounts of money into capital equipment, which is often designed to last many years. Some manufacturing equipment is meant to last fifty years, as in the case of the metal working industry, such as huge Metal Shears, Press Brakes and Die Stamping Equipment. Parts wear out, and manufacturers go out of business. Not only that, but re-designing a part can make a big difference in production efficiency. This is why many operations have to seek out a company like Elite Tech Engineering to understand all of the options. All they need is a sample of the spare part in question, or existing CAD Models of it to get the ball rolling.

Successful key points of reverse engineering that move the process from model to tool are as follows:

Measurement of the Object’s Features:Elite Tech would schedule a visit to the client’s facility to consider the part’s parameters and pick-up a sample if available. At this stage, all of the pertinent data for measuring and modeling is collected.

3D-Rendering for Prototype Manufacturing: After manual or digital measurements are obtained from the part, an engineer or CAD technician will need to input the parameters into 3D software such as SolidWorks or AutoCAD to render a prototype drawing.

Product Specification and Drawings: After the prototype drawing is generated, design validation and simulation can be done in the virtual environment of the 3D CAD file, and changes can be made if necessary before a single part is manufactured.

Communication of Manufacturing Drawings: The completed drawings in this step are given to the manufacturing area and they include orthographic views, notes, call outs, material to use and special instructions. The drawing defines the fit, form and function of the product in detail.

Elite Tech Engineering has the expanded capabilities of providing 3d Cad Services, and have earned a reputation as the place to go for: CAD Outsourcing Services, CAD Drafting Services, (OEM) Equivalent Replacement (Mechanical Parts), Replacement of Parts Services, and innovative mechanical engineering services, among many other specialized services offered.
